Promer Edificio di Credit Union

Na Aruba ta Habri na Santa Cruz


Santa Cruz Credit Union now boasts its own office building,
the first constructed by this organization on the island.
Santa Cruz Credit Union awor tin su propio edificio, esun
promer traha door di e organization ariba isla.


Aruba's First Credit Union Office

Inaugurated at Santa Cruz July 25


After a construction period
of over a year, the Santa Cruz
Credit Union inaugurated its
office building, the first to be
built in Aruba, Saturday
night, July 25. That day, the
Santa Cruz C.U. also celebrat-
ed its tenth anniversary.

Under presidency of J. B.
(Ildo) Croeze, an accountant
in Comptroller's-HDS Accoun-
ting/Auditing Group, plans
for the building were further
developed a f t e r Chaplain
Swartjes of Santa Cruz origin-
ated the idea in 1967. Ildo has
been president of the Credit
Union since 1967.

The ribbon cutting cere-
mony was performed by Lt.
Governor O. S. Henriquez wit-
nessed by representatives of
the government, Credit Unions
from Curaqao and Aruba, and
its members.

With the guests seated in
the festively decorated build-
ing, M. C. Thomas Delaney
introduced the various speak-
ers: President Ildo Croeze, Lt.
Governor O. S. Henriquez, An-
tillean Credit Union League
President Wolfschoon, Father
Berlage of Santa Cruz, and
Leonardo Croes, who was the
construction manager.

Thanks to the help of some
52 voluntary workmen, the
cost of the building was kept
low: about Fls. 12,000.

President Croeze explained
that in its ten years' existence,
total savings amounted to


over Fls. 100,000, while over
Fls. 200,000 were loaned to
members. The C.U. now has
about 300 members.
Future plans of the Credit
Union, says President Ildo
Croeze, include the establish-
ment of cooperatives.
The board of the Santa
Cruz Credit Union consists of:
J. B. Croeze, president; Leo-
nardo Croes, vice president;
Edwin Croes, secretary; Mrs.
M. L. Curiel, treasurer; and
Miss Filomena Werleman, Miss
Olinda Thiel, Father Berlage,
Porfirio Croes (Process-Sup-
ply Division), and Faustino
Tromp, members.
Other committees of the
Credit Union are the Loan
Committee and Control Com-
mittee.

Lago Trainees Become Acquainted


With Pulsating
On Wednesday, July 29, a
group of students met in the
Esso Club's main lounge. This
was the start of a tour which
brought them face-to-face with
Lago's many huge and com-
plex installations.
The group comprised college
students currently on an eight-
week summer training pro-
gram and technical students
receiving practical training
under the Company's Cooper-
ative Education Program.
After a brief explanation of
Lago's operations, Carlos de
Cuba of PR/IR-Training in-
troduced the film on the S.S.
"Manhattan" 's epic voyage
"Through the Northwest Pas-
sage" in the club's theater.


Refinery Life
In the bus ride through the
refinery under guidance of
Severiano Luydens, the stu-
dents received an explanation
of the various units, their
functions and capacity, and
were shown various points of
interest, including the multi-
million dollar HDS project.
They later stopped at the
Mechanical Shops and the Lab-
oratories where they observed
employees at work, and where
demonstrations of various
equipment and products were
given.
Altogether, the 50-minute
trip gave the students a bet-
ter idea of the Company's
many "happenings" in the re-
finery.

Art Contest Draws Wide Response;

Entries Received Reach 100 Mark


Fifty-four employees and
family members are participa-
ting in the Lago Art Contest
to be held in September. The
first such contest to be spons-
ored by the Company, the La-
go Art Contest has received a
total of 100 works of art, var-
ying from pencil, pen and ink
works to oil and water color
paintings.
The enthusiasm shown by
participants is indicated by
the wide selection of topics
from participants of all ages.
The youngest participant is
seven years old, while the eld-
est is in his late forties.
Since the subject of entries


was left entirely up to the
participants, art works receiv-
ed range from landscapes and
portraits to abstract paintings.

Work began recently on
four new furnaces, one for
each of the Combination Units
Nos. 5, 6, 7 & 8. Foundation
work for No. 8 C.U. furnace
began in May, with completion
of the furnace erection sched-
uled in December this year.
The fourth furnace will be
ready for operation approxim-
ately in March next year.
The modern furnaces will
have a new look, with the bot-
tom of the furnaces installed
12 feet above ground level on
a set of reinforced concrete
and steel supports.
Each furnace is equipped
with ten Esso burners, a new
type of burner at Lago which
will assure more efficient
furnace operation. The burn-
ers will fire upwards and will
burn pitch instead of fuel gas.
This will release more fuel gas
for use by the new HDS
units.
To abate noise, the air sup-
ply for the burners will be
provided from underground
ducts which will be insulated
from ground level up to the
bottom of the furnace, while
mufflers will be installed at


the burners.
The walls of the 60 feet
long, 20 feet wide and 40 feet
high furnaces will be lined
with heavy duty fire bricks
with a high aluminum content
On top of each furnace, a 10-
foot diameter steel smokestack
will be erected with the top
rising some 200 feet above the
ground.
The new furnaces were des-
igned by engineers of Esso
Research & Engineering while
Foster Wheeler Italiana is in
charge of the mechanical des-
ign and supply. Foundation
work and piping installation
will be carried out by A. G
McKee & Co. and the erection
of the furnaces Nwll be done
by Saipem.
In charge of the process
design of the new furnaces
was J. L. Templet of Techni-
cal-Process Engineering,
The total project, costing
about Fls. 7,500,000, is being
executed under supervision of
Project Manager Allan Tem-
ple, with H. J. Frederiks as
field engineer, and Isaac Chin
and Gene Goley as project en-
gineers.

This is the largest hot tap line connection (30") ever made
at Lago, west of tank 159. A hot tap is a provision for in-
stalling a new line from an existing line without taking the
latter out of service. It is called "hot" because the machine
can tap a line with either cold or hot product in the line.
Esaki ta e coneccion "hot tap" (30") di mas grand cu a ser
